How to Get Rid of Vaginal Odor

Vaginal odor is a very common problem that most women have to deal with at least once or twice in their life.

Vaginal odor can be due to a number of reasons, such as bacterial growth, yeast infections, poor hygiene, hormonal changes, and sexually transmitted diseases.

If the problem is due to infection, there may be symptoms like redness, itching, burning and irritation in the vaginal area. A fishy odor down there, in particular, is caused by bacterial vaginosis.

No matter what the reason, vaginal odor can be very embarrassing. There are many natural remedies to help treat vaginal odor.

Here are the top 10 ways to get rid of vaginal odor.

1. Apple Cider Vinegar

Due to its antibacterial and antiseptic properties, apple cider vinegar can be used to fight vaginal odor. In fact, taking a bath with apple cider vinegar is one of the simplest ways to get rid of the bad odor. This will help fight off the toxins and bacteria that cause vaginal odor. It will also help restore the acidic quality of the vaginal flora.

Mix two cups of apple cider vinegar in warm bath water. Soak in it for about 20 minutes. Follow this remedy several times a week to get quick results.

You can also drink a glass of water mixed with one or two tablespoons of apple cider vinegar daily.

2. Baking Soda

Baking soda is another ingredient that can be used to balance the pH level in your body. When the pH level is in balance, the problem of vaginal odor will dissipate.

Add one-half cup of baking soda to your bathwater.

Soak your lower body in it for about 20 minutes.

Dry yourself thoroughly with a clean towel. This remedy will help fight a yeast infection and can help get rid of odor quickly.

3. Yogurt

Another good ingredient that can be used to treat vaginal odor is yogurt. Yogurt is rich in lactobacillus bacteria, which help fight candida infection (one of the most common causes of vaginal odor) and restore the normal vaginal pH level. Once the pH level is balanced, the vaginal odor will be gone.

Eat two cups of unsweetened, plain yogurt daily. You can also take probiotic supplements.

Another option is to soak a tampon in plain yogurt and insert it into your body. Leave it in for a few hours, and rinse the area thoroughly after removing the tampon.

4. White Vinegar

White vinegar has the power to neutralize odors by breaking down odor proteins. A white vinegar rinse will help eliminate vaginal odor. It will also help restore pH levels in the vagina.

Mix one-half cup each of white vinegar and salt in lukewarm bath water.

Soak in it for a few minutes.

Follow this remedy several times a week.

5. Tea Tree Oil

Tea tree oil contains strong antifungal as well as antiseptic properties, and thus it can be used to get rid of unpleasant vaginal odor. It will help get rid of bacteria that are contributing to the problem.

Add three drops of tea tree oil to a cup of water. Use this solution to rinse the affected area daily or several times a week.

Alternatively, dip a tampon in olive oil and then put a little tea tree oil on it. Insert the tampon and leave it in for at least one hour. Do this several times a week.

6. Garlic

Garlic is a natural antibiotic that can be great for dealing with vaginal infections as well as vaginal odor. The antifungal properties present in garlic will help fight a yeast infection and help your body get rid of bad bacteria.

Eat garlic in raw or cooked form on a daily basis. You can eat one or two raw garlic cloves on an empty stomach with a glass of warm water. You can also add garlic cloves or its paste to your dishes and salads.

Another option is to put a piece of garlic in the vagina for an hour or two. Do this daily or a few times a week until you get rid of the problem.

go to your doctor. you either have a yeast infection, bacterial vaginosis, or an std/sti. the best way to get rid of smelly discharge problems is to take a visit to your doctor’s office and take the antibiotics or advice they give you and follow it until they told you to. DON’T EVER STOP ANTIBIOTICS JUST BECAUSE YOU FEEL BETTER, IT WILL COME BACK AND IT WILL COME BACK QUICKLY. hope this helped!

Yes, Lord I bakin in the tub and it works. I draw minimal of water in the tub where it came over my legs with 11/2cup of bakin soda. I had smell that wouldnt quick. The doctor. keep saying it BV so tired

Tea tree oil does help the odor I had it in a spray bottle sprayed some on my area. And on a wash cloth gently washed and it was good for hours and hours. The apple vinegar and baking soda I mixed in a bath together did great

@ BOITU YOU SHOULD TRY GOING TO GYN AND THEY WILL PRESCRIBE YOU A GEL OR CREAM THAT WILL KILL ODOR INSTANTLY AND ANY OTHER DISCOMFORT YOU WILL ALSO GET TESTED JUST INCASE AFTER UR PRESCRIPTION MAKE SURE GOOD HYGIENE AND NO UNPROTECTED SEX SOMETIMES OTS YOUR PARTNER NEVER KNOW ALL INFO ABOVE HELPS ALSO HEARD OF USEING DEODORANT JUST MAKE SURE IF NOTGING HELPS SEE A GYN TO TREAT AND KNOW WHAT PROBLEM IS ASAP

@ boitu you should go get summer’s eve feminime wash and summer’s eve sweet romance douche drink plenty of water and use plain yogurt on a tampon it really does work. White vinegar is good to use after your menstrual to make the vagina tight but for odor I recommend the summer’s eve wash and along with plain yogurt.

No no no! So sorry to step on toes, but douching is very bad for your vagina. You have bacteria inside your vagina that are not only beneficial, but they are absolutely necessary! When you douche you clean out that bacteria, and then they return with an angry vengeance. You will have an over abundance of bacteria and will end up with an infection and an even worse odor. Your vagina is very good at cleaning itself. You should only clean the outer parts of your vagina. Having an OBGYN in the family certainly helps. Use a mild soap on your outer lips and always wipe front to back!

The odor is natural and has purpose. God made all things for a purpose. And the purpose for using it is not for everyone or everybody’s use. The use of the vagina is is only for a married couple and of delivery for a baby. Secondly, Its true that the vagina has a good cleansing itself. Me is only using a plain water in washing my vagina…I only wash my vagina twice a day. Once in the morning during my bath time and once in the evening before bed time. It works!

I wouldn’t recommend douching after taking the yogurt tampon out because it could upset the natural pH again. My suggestion would be to take a quick, warm bath with a cup of apple cider vinegar (or baking soda) after the tampon is removed. If access to a bath is not available, wipe with a clean washcloth dampened with warm water. If the yogurt is left inside for a while, it will not cause any harm. Hope this was helpful to you, dear.

From someone that battled vaginal odor for YEARS, none of these home remedies work. The only thing that works is Metronidazole. You have to get it from your gynecologist, or go to a planned parenthood or free clinic if you don’t have insurance. It comes in gel or pill form (I recommend the vaginal gel form called Metrogel because the pill makes you nauseous). The smell disappears on the very 1st day you use it but you have to continue use for 5-7 days to make sure all the bacteria is gone. Also avoid allowing your boyfriend to ejaculate in you as that usually triggers the odor to come back. I’ve been odor free now for about 4 years

Sometimes antibiotics are needed, but this bacteria is tenacious and usually comes back. I suggest even if using antibiotics to use natural remedies afterwards to keep it clean. This will help keep the bad bacteria away and keep the pH at a healthy level. I eat yogurt after taking antibiotics. One thing that helped me, changed my life, was rinsing with water after every time I went to the bathroom. Like a bidet; I used a plant watering pot. This has done the most to keep me healthy there. If I start to get a little ‘off’, I rinse with chamomile tea. Chamomile tea rinse is another great help for smell or bacterial problems.

The TV show “The Doctors” had a segment on “How to keep the Vagina odor under control”…believe it or not they said to rinse using water after every bathroom visit. They even gave all the women a rinse spray bottle to use. I wish I had written down the name of the bottle because I would like to purchase one for myself.

wow thats really interesting because I am a Muslim and there are certain hygiene rules in islam which has to be followed for example having to wash your privates with water when going to toilet which seems to have health benefits as well.

It helps kill the odor after a man ejaculates because about an hour after he does , the sperm start dying IDC what anyone says I’ve always a tablespoon of white vinegar and warm water to rinse out after sex , because when you leave it inside no matter how much your vagina is supposed to cleanse itself that bacteria still leaves a horrible fish odor and I’ve never had a problem after doing so

I had the metrogel and it gave me bad yeast infection the pills are ok but the problem just keeps coming back I’ve tried the apple cider vinegar bath and it’s good but I have also decided to do the garlic cloves inserts overnight and that also is workin fine I’m happy to say I’m odor free

Try Himalaya V gel. It works wonders! Its also very reasonable. Do not insert untreated fingers down there as you tend to keep reinfecting yourself. Otherwise you and your partner has to go see the doctor.

I poured a bit of white vinegar on a cottonpad and dotted on my labia, the smell disappeared and have been gone since, it’s now been 14 days and still no odour. I am SO happy!! 😀 I’ve had this problem recurring since 1999 and now itäs cured! I’ve tried every damn antibiotic there is and the doctors told me it had gotten chronic and to not hope anymore but learn to live with it. Now itäs gone! GONE! :o!!

Omg I had an odor for the first time after a long period. It was going on for a few days so I got the white vinegar and dabbed it with the cotton same way you did. I also drank water with the apple cider vinegar. And pineapple juice. Odor gone after one day! Repeated day 2, totally gone! Woohoo thanks!

Seriously, diet plays a huge key in everything having to do with our health and bodies…meat eaters are the stinkiest people…I am not a vegetarian but I barely eat meat, so yea…I mean you think some random sweaty person has BO, well your eating habits smell don’t just come out of your pores you know…they come out of everywhere! And you smell, can you imagine how you taste?? YUCK.

I’ve noticed a change in my body n this odor is one. MN said it best u r what u eat n what you take in. I’m a smoker and believe that doesn’t help either . So I’ve decided to drink more water, eat more fruits veggies n yogurt, and include a natural suppliment to my diet. I’ll keep you posted.

Maybe u r garbage!hw TF can u say that bout people you don’t know?most people eat veggies,fruit healthy foods,DR know it all ! Doesn’t meen you’d be immune to any infection/ illness,in the 1st instance Y are you on the site if you didn’t have such a problem as indicated ???don’t you think you should keep your critism to yourself instead of talking crap that you got no clue/suffers from+pretend to be all hunky dory?

I hope you know that vegans and vegetarians also smell to, doesn’t mean you eat healthy doesn’t mean you can’t smell.you smell what you eat and not everyone smells like what they eat and by the way vegans and overweight ppl smell worse than a vegetarian and meat eaters when they sweat so your the one with no common sense so if i was you don’t lecture ppl when you’re talking out of your ass.

You are right, this is a sensitive issue. Example: When you take a bath and you see a ring in the tub when the water is gone…does that mean you were dirty? Or does it mean the body is getting rid of old dead cells? Ans: the ring mean you were getting rid of old dead cells. When the vagina smell…is it normal or abnormal? The answer can be “YES” and it can be “NO”. Everyone is different and the body react to situations in a different way. The vagina is no different…it has to be dealt with according to the situation at hand.

You made me laugh so hard! But you are sooo right!!! Eat fresh and definately reduce the meat from your diet. I myself do do a douche but with just a spoon of white vinegar in water and it feels so fresh. I believe your body can take care of itself, but if its stinks a natural remedie wont hurt at all. I have been doing it for years. Almost every day and its like brushing my teeth

I have been diagnosed with vaginal yeast since 2010.its a white thick discharge.they gave me vaginal cream @ a local clinick with some pills but they dont seem to work..i went there again 2011/12 thy gave me same thing..until they injected me with this painful needle saying it will cure me..but it has not.and now its smelling veri bad,espc during sexual intercours #so embarrasing

I had that same problems years ago, a white thick discharge that had a foul order. I went to the doctor and was told i had Vaginitis…i was treated and the problem went away. I can tell you if you have intercourse with this problem, the partner have to be treated also. In men it does not present the same symptoms.

My great-grand mother was a midwife, she did home deliveries in the 1960’s. I remember my mother telling us that she used a Astringent called Alum. She would use it with the mothers to control the bleeding and spotting after the delivery. The real purpose was to tighten the vagina. Put a very tiny piece wrapped in cotton and insert it in the vagina….it will really tighten that area…i used it for curiosity and it worked.

OMG! I have most of these things but I never stick to them cause I want rapid results but I think sticking to the vinegar wash, consuming plain yorgut and drinking lots of water would actually help out a lot

Hi @ all woman who posted , i must say its a relieve knowing that im nt the only one with this , bt i must say i hv been experiencing this problem for 15 yrs n its nt easy especially wen it comes to making love with my man n i thank god that he is so understanding he is very supportiv i remember telling him abt it wen we first met 2 yrs ago n he never judged me bt he was supportive , we even went to the doctor together last year n we were both given treatment n the doctor advised us too stay faithful, bt the saddest part it did came bck n i went for treatment n he aslo took the pills n was also given n injection, bt it was gone for 6 months, now its back again n im nt going back to the clinic cos they will tell me that im nt being faithful to one partner bt im now using the home remedies n i must sy they r helping. Another thing i hv fibroids that gives me hell wen im in ma periods n i bleeds tooo much, n im going for n op on the 30th of july this year n i hope all will go well. Thanks a lot.

I have quit smoking for about 14 days, which is a nice change. Rather hard at first. Always that first week. I usually only last a week, but I think this is it for good. That helped with the odor, but since I quit smoking! BUT! – I have been eating non stop subconsciously for the replacement. Only realised in the last couple of days! So I’ve cut down. Hard to eat healthy as I am a young student on a budget, but I am trying my best. I will be trying the white vinegar trick when I get some. Attempting bath remedies tomorrow afternoon/night when I get home (in bed with the laptop) Finishing off the last of the oranges/fruits for breakfast tomorrow. I will try others if this continues! DEFINITELY diet that plays a part!!! Due to me being a young and dumb teen that eats junk and more junk :p Good luck lovely ladies x

Thank you very much 4 the advice. Atleast now I know am not alone in this situation. Am very young and I thought maybe I have been cursed or something but now I know am not. I am definetly going to try all the tips. Thank you:):):)

I’m a gynecologist, and I invented a new natural vitamin suppository called NeuEve that gets rid vaginal odors, dryness and BV. It’s made out of 100% natural ingredients, vitamin C and vitamin E. I’ve tested it on myself, and my friends and acquaintances and there have really been incredible results!

Hi ladies! As a general rule, I recommend metronidazole for bad-smelling vaginal discharge that fits the description of BV. Metronidazole can cause yeast infection, so what I tell my patients is to first do a course of metro, and THEN a course of Diflucan – 150 mg tablet on day 1 and on day 3 AFTER the cure with metronidzole is over. Usually works like a charm for my patients

That being said. A gynaecological exam is something you should have done, they can take samples to figure out which bacteria you have, if any, if you have a yeast infection, if you have an STD etc., and you can get your pap-smear done.

Using lactobacilli are great when on antibiotics, and if you are very bothered by odor, you can take a course of lactobacilli vaginal capsules after each period just to “clean up” in there.

I do not recommend douching as it will harm the natural bacterial/fungal flora in your vajayjay 😉

I have had these problems my self, but they are far gone now. If i feel there might be a yeast infection sneaking around the corner, I just take 150 mg diflucan and I’m good to go.

OMG! I’m stunned. After only one go with white vinegar I’ve already had outstanding results. I’ll continue on, but had I only known it was so easy months ago then it would have made it all so much easier. I can’t thank you enough for the idea.

it everygirls dream to be health and fresh but some obstacles just appears from no where. well it hurts to talk about this but its ur health and nothing smell bad like ur vagina wen it has ordors so do the right thing and get check.

I decided to look up info on this problem, and am so happy i did because i am not alone with this issue. I have never had any insecurities with my body (while naked), or while during foreplay and making love. I am 48 years old and know what i want during foreplay and am confident enough to take charge in foreplay. Now not only am i insecure about my body, but also during foreplay and making love. I went from having sex everyday to only once every couple of weeks. It’s caused from my partner saying (while going downtown for the first time) “wow why do you smell so bad do you not wash enough”? So reading and finding ways to help with this problem i’m not feeling hopeless but relieved!!!! thank you, thank you, thank you ladies for sharing the same problem and letting others know it happens and its not you

I dont understand how people say to avoid sugar because candida that cause yeast infections like sugar. But then you are told to eat more fruit which tends to be citrus fruits which are full of sugar. Wouldn’t that make it worse?

Hi ladies, av been aving Odor for 8, thanks to ur post the baking soda has been realy helpfull, now am odorless. But av been aving lot of discharge recently, pls a advice on how to stop or limited it is needed, pls post if u av a clue

Add one-half cup of baking soda to your bathwater. Soak your lower body in it for about 20 minutes. Dry yourself thoroughly with a clean towel. This remedy will help fight a yeast infection and can help get rid of odor quickly.

I myself am aa chronic sufferer and its even worsee when other people can smell it too. My whole family knows I have this problem and its really sad, I can’t even talk to anyone about it. This is NOT how life should be. I mean I havee BIG dreams to accomplish but not like this :(… But however tthough I’ll be trying the garlic along with probiotics… And hopefully this will be a thing of the past… I’ll keep you posted ladies… I hope u all find something that works for u. God Bless!!!

thank god i am not the only one going thru this i thought something was wrong with me..ofter sex i smell so bad i don’t even want to be intermate sometime i am constantly washing myself to make sure i don’t smell but ofter coming out of the shower i still can smell myself . I will try a few of these ideas that i see on here and hope it works. thks to all

I have had this for over 20 yrs. The antibiotic pills worked but as soon as I had intercourse it came back. Went on Metrogel for 5 yrs …using after intercourse and it never went away. Just helped the bad smell after intercourse for a few days. From what I can understand here…the white vinegar bath with salt and baking soda help. There is nothing that we put internally? I will try the baths if it works. Does it matter how much I use of each. Or do I drink the Baking soda?

The garlic absolutely helps!!!… Try it… If u wanna eliminate it 4 gud insert acidophilus capsules on consecutive nights after the garlic treatment… Please try this ladies… Its about time we all knew how to get rid of it PERMANANTLY!!!!

Hi Ladies, I never had an odor problem anywhere, but since going through menopause I have this sweet odor coming from the vagina area, I don’t like it. I don’t use deodorant under my arms, because it makes me itch so I started using a natural deodorant, salt crystals I bought at a health food store many years ago. It works great for under the arms! I still sweat, but the salt prevents bacteria from forming, so there isn’t any odor under my arms. I didn’t use the salt crystal under my arms one day and I had the same sweet odor from my under arms and realized that the odor from the Vagina is the same that was under my arms. I have tried rolling the salt crystal on the skin around the vagina and the odor stopped. After menopause I started sweating in more places. I feel the sweating must be due to the hormonal changes. The salt crystal is a little irritating so I hesitate using it in the vagina area. I will try the other natural remedies to see if they work. I feel better figuring out why I smell. It’s just another symptom of menopause. It’s not something that is coming from inside the vagina, in my case it’s from the sweat on the outside. I hope this helps. It really helped me when I figured it out.

does these things really work because my odor isn’t that bad but it does have a smell to it and I want it to go away but I know a couple of reasons why it might smell and or have odor I wear tight jeans but there not to to tight and I have cotton panties some are loose fit and some are tight fitting panties and I do have intercourse from time to time could that cause my odor need help!

Helpful info ladies, thank you so much. I’ll spread the word and help inform others as well. My heart is after the well being of a woman….An odor free cookie can boost one’s confidence. Bless you ladies.

Hey ladies, thanks for sharing so much hope uplifting info. My odor problem is something new and it embarrasses me to stand up next to friends or walk pass people cos I fear they will smell it. I have tried probiotics and they only helped for a day or 2 and the odor came back. Also tried some pills one has to insert inside the vagina to no avail. I will try the vinegar and will post feedback. Cheers

Hi everyone, I am glad to know that I am not the only one who is experiencing the same thing with the vaginal odor. I tried the White Vinegar with my bath along with the salt. I don’t smell an odor anymore, and I am feeling refreshed and great.

I recently experience horrible vag odor for a few months, worse smell I’ve ever experienced! I started to douche (very bad idea) so I soaked a tampon in Apple cider vinegar & water inserted it & the smell left completely it’s been 1 day now so hopefully it doesn’t come back, I made an appointment w/ my gyn to be safe.

Thats awesome that the tampon soaked with vinegar worked….ive been trying to find if anyone has done this/ whether it works, as it seems more simple to do than having a bath or soaking in it. How long did you keep the tampon in tho?

Hi ladies thank u verey much for this tips am going to try it i believe will work wonders as i read the testimonies are good i believe the remedies will work mariculous all the best to those are still using it,i thank all ladies

Thank you so much for this home remedies. Having unpleasant odor to your vagina is so embarrass especially when we make love with my husband. I really feel aloof now with my partner everytime he wants to have sex with me.

doctor cream doesn’t always help, try n to fine better things to do, instead of have n to pay for another doctors visit, what helps best, boyfriend n I have notice smell, not real bad, but after sex seem to be worse, I’m 39 no std ect… but this problem comes and goes, please someone tell me what I can do, have tried some of these things here, but comes back, how offten can you do some of these things without hurting your Ph too???

I would think if someone gets a discharge with a very bad odour they most likely have an infection. My practice nurse when I went for a smear test kept telling me I had thrush as she could see the discharge at the neck of the womb. She did a test and sent it off to be tested and it came back negative I did not have thrush infection. The discharge I used to get was quite normal for most women. When I went through the menopause the discharge got much better not so often and much less heavy. Now I am post-menopausal I have noticed it has changed again. Sometimes it was very uncomfortable as it made my panties wet. I now use a feminine wash and sometimes wipes the ones without to much perfume. And a pantie liner although you have to be careful of those as they can make you sore I have found. It must be horrible to suffer bad odour to I never get that myself thankfully. You do have to be careful not to make things worse by upsetting the delicate balance in that area.

I also experiencing the same way. What I have observed was after a sexual intercourse or having sex the fluids that comes out form each other brought a bad smell among ladies. Or if there are hormone imbalance the secretion turns into bad smell. I don’t know if these observations are right but whatever reasons why we women are battling in these kind of problems even hygienic was observed, hope to be solved very soon.

My vergina got a bad fishy dead smell because had sex with 2 different guys one way of getting bad bacteria yes, this smell so shameful it like its all over me im ashamed to be around ppl but im using apply cider to help with problem, smell will soon be gone.

Having a bad vaginal discharge for almost 2 years now, I REAALLY want to get rid of it. It’s been sooo embarrassing, especially during class because it will start smelling and people will say stuff. Humiliating. I’ve been to the doctors multiple times but I always get back the same results…no infection, no STI/STD. They really don’t know why my body is producing this terrible (fishy) smelling discharge. They didn’t want to prescribe any medications to me because they didn’t want to mess with my pH levels incase the antibiotics might have started a real infection down there. I tried the baking soda remedy yesterday by drinking a cup of warm water and a teaspoon of it and I threw up about 4 times later that night. I’ve also sat in half a cup of baking soda for 20 mins for the past two days and that has worked a little but I’m afraid it won’t be permanent i eat really healthy, drink plenty of water, and exercise a good amount but there seems to be no solution to this. It’s stressful, making my life awful and I need help but my mom and I don’t know what to do anymore. Help anyone?? I’m 15 and have had my period for 3 and a half years now if that helps anything. And my discharge is daily.

I Just got married a couple months ago and I just got paragard IUD. So we thought yay no more condoms right? I really prefer not to use them especially because my husband and I are both clean and have no std or anything. So after just the first time of having sex without one I got this horrible smell thing I never use to have a problem with ever!! Its depressing. Especially because the second time it smelled worse! Does anyone on here know if I will ever be able to have unprotected sex again? Because I’m tired of struggling. Either I’m struggling with a both control or a smell or something and I just wanna start enjoying intimacy rather then getting angry about the problems every time. I tried some home remedies and they work but it always comes back. Is there anything preventative??

i detected a fishy odor anytime i have affair with my fiancee for the past one and half years now…and it has generated a lot of problem between us.on reading this remedies and last two nights i made her sit in a warm water mix with half cup of baking soda and the odor has gone.thanks

I dont have stds bv or anything like that there is no discharge but I do drink apple cider vinegar soak in epsom salt and use baking soda I think the smell is from ph level using stong bath gels body wash and etc…. because everyone wants to smell good douching will make it worst if you can smell yourself yes everyone can smell you too you can keep the smell under control so its better to try everything that kills bacteria lol

Seriously MN??????? Wahoo!!!!!! I really wonder how some people can be so narrow minded still in this century!!!!!! Because you don’t experience one problem doesn’t make you any better than those who are experiencing it!!!! Hello oooooooh!!!!!!!!

I dont have a STD/infection, but there is an awful smell there and i shower 2 times a day but them smell is always there when i wake up and throughout the day. My discharge isn’t thick or any weird color but it goes through my pants!! Someone leave a good remedy for me to get rid of this…Ive tried waterworks and femanol it did NOT work

Ive been having a fishy smell and i wonder what will actually works asap because my anniversary is today and i want to have intercourse but also what would make a females cum taste better quickly also in a few hours

how many of you fat cows need to diet and drink more Wattterrrrrrrrrrr… stop putting shit fast food, fatty food in your bodies and magically you will start to smell better.. Also If your not drinking a half gallon – 1 gallon of water a day then you are not drinking enough, you see water flushes out all that crap in your system.. so if you are like pretty much every other smelly bitch out there and drinking only 1 – 3 cups of water per day and think your doing enough then go ahead and keep fishing it up and crying about how bad you smell.. ”coffee, soda, high fat-sodium-sugary foods, and low water intake = strait up fishy insecure mess” …. hate me all you want but all you smelly girls out there, just try drinking 1 gallon of water a day for 2 weeks and i promise you better skin, hair, energy, health, and yesssss you will smell better too!!!

WOW!! Seriously W O W!! Britt.. Out of all these ladies who have an issue that is common worldwide, you decide to be the judgmental IGNORANT SELF CENTERED B!TCH that has to put them down.. I don’t even know where you live or how far away you are from me, but I can tell you one thing: Your VAGINA sinks so bad I can already smell you here it my house. We all don’t have time to hate you because you are just another random chick, sorry I meant to say dumb b!tch who is probably going through worse that vaginal odor thinking she is better than all the other WOMEN here. So why don’t you take the baking soda, white vinegar, apple cider vinegar, garlic, along with some good soap , bleach and YOUR water gallon… Then shove it in your mouth NOT your vagina, YOUR MOUTH. To see if it cleans you up or at least soak your body along with your face so you won’t be talking or writing BS to women you don’t even know who have done nothing to offend you, yet you still did it out of pure ignorance and foolishness. Good day to you dear BRITT. P.S.. US HATING ON YOU… NOBODY HAS TIME FOR THAT!!

I’ve been struggling with what seems to be a yeast infection for a while now. I was ashamed to go to the doctor and decided that I would try some home remedies but that failed so I finally went to the doctor. I was given some antibiotics which I took as instructed, the yeast seemed to go away but when the antibiotics finished it came right back. I want it to leave permanently!

hai ladies, am a man wth a cute lady by my side, i love her. she has this problem of vaginal odor, its worse durin sex and thot of browsin to find possible ways to support her to end this. am not ashamed of her…..i wil help her.

Pls its realy annoying how my boyfriend always complains of my vaginal ordour but I have no idea of what to do. Someone said I should use hot water and antiseptic in it, I’v done it but to no avail. I think I will have to try this white vinegar. Where do I find it…..I need a reply please

I’ve been having dis problem about a year now, n I’ve been taking some pills n cream bt It ddnt work. Try white viniger with salt n soak ur lower part, drink 1 tablespoon of baking soda, soak a tampon in a plan unsweeted yourght, or boing d leave of mango n drink dat water. Never use soap ever. This did work 4 m hope it will work 4 u 2.

Gonna try this, 2. Baking Soda Baking soda is another ingredient that can be used to balance the pH level in your body. When the pH level is in balance, the problem of vaginal odor will dissipate.

Simply mix one teaspoon of baking soda in a glass of warm water and drink it once a day for a few days. Alternatively, you can add one-half cup of baking soda to your bathwater. Soak your lower body in it for about 20 minutes. Dry yourself thoroughly with a clean towel. This remedy will help fight a yeast infection and can help get rid of odor quickly.

I have one question, do I need to clean it after soaking my lower body or just leave it and dry?

I have no idea if anyone knows about alum ( in Philippines it is called TAWAS). It is powder like & sold in Filipino/Asian stores just a 1/2 teaspoon diluted in water then use it for rinsing/washing you’ll have odor free & tighter vagina. Try it, works great!!! & also u can use only water for washing not douches, not soaps. ACV & white vinegar is good too.

After giving birth to my second child, I was discharged only to return to the emergency room with such a foul odor that people could smell at a great distance away. Talk about embarrassing!! Needless to say I was admitted to the hospital and pumped with antibiotics. My body hadn’t discharged everything after giving birth. And the infection I got could have killed me had I not went in to get checked. Needless to say, now I am very sensitive to any odor from my lady bits. It’s true the foods you eat will change the odor. Just as broccoli or brussel sprouts give your urine a strong odor if you eat a lot of them in your diet. Too much of some of these foods can also affect not only your urine, but also your body odor as well as vaginal odors. Word of advice, watch what you eat and make note of how those foods affect your odor. And if something is just not right or so foul you can smell yourself…go get checked. It could be something very serious.

Thank you guys for the infos… i thought that only me is experiencing this problem. I have white discharge n has a foul odor. Dnt know if some people also smell this odor everytime i passes by. I already used different femnine wash but the smell always comes back. I will try the white vinegar and baking soda, hope it will work!

I have a vaginal oder and I’m not sure what it’s from. It’s not a fishy smell or any smelly discharge. I only wonder though because I had bacterial vaginosis after having my son. I took the medication for it. But just all of a sudden I have to keep washing and washing cuz I have a slight oder.

My boyfriend refuses to go down on me and pretends he isn’t interested in oral sex. I feel horrible though, its not fair ! I’m going to get rid of this evil smell. I think I’ll try the white vinegar for a week and sit on his face . My muffinless days will soon be over !!!!

Damn, thanks a lot ladies. I don’t know if my problem is different but I get the bad odour a couple of days before my menstrual cycle, smells like rotting meat (soooo embarrassing) but then after my period it smells SUPER clean you’d swear I’m lying. I’ll try the white vinegar and bicarb.

Everyone is asking how to get rid of the odor, but no one is inquiring about what is actually causing the odor. All the remedies may work for some but not all. 9 out of 10 if you’re experiencing vaginal odor, it’s your diet. Your vagina is your check engine light ladies, it’s telling you your body needs a check up. I have taken the prescription gel that’s mentioned above and the problem always returned after awhile. It wasn’t until I did a 3 day colon hydrotherapy session that the problem disappeared. Whenever I eat something such as meat, dairy or drink alcohol, I start having discharge within a couple of days. As long as I eat fresh foods, I’m completely fine. Pay attention to your body, hope this helps.

Well i use to have dissame problem with u girls before i have been to the Dr and did some test and they said am okay that nothing is wrong with me but am not comfortable becos i no that some is wrong one of the nurses said that it is from my man sperm that has the odors not me so i stop having sex for some few months still the odors didn’t stop so i went to a pharmacy and they gave me femanol to insert in my vagina and i did and that is the end of my problem but people that there own is chronic pls make use of apple or white vinegar tnks

So Ive been battling with this problem for about two years now, and the smell/discharge comes and goes. I noticed that it was occurring the most when I would have a lot of sugar and didn’t have enough water. When I had stop drinking juice and cut out sugar, it would not happen. But its almost impossible for me to stay away from sugar. I recently drank orange juice for two days, the smell came on sooo bad, I guess do to the sugar and citric acid. Anyways I tried the vinegar after reading this post today, I wet a cotton pad with warm water and white vinegar and wiped my labia, as well as anal area. Instantly the smell/discharge went away! Im sure it prob won’t stay away but it was nice to know there was a quick fix available! I hope this works for someone!!

I have always had a white thick discharge and minor odor since I started my period so naturally its been several years. I was always told by doctors it was “normal”. I have noticed off and on the odor would be much worse at times, but it always managed to fix itself out. Recently the last couple months it has been really bad and consistent. It is so embarrassing! especially when trying to have an active sex life with your partner. Good thing he has been supportive! Last night after reading all these remedies, I went to the store and got the baking soda and Apple Cider Vinegar. I also got some pineapple as I heard this helps too. I soaked in a bath with the Baking soda for 20 minutes, drank a glass of water with Apple Cider Vinegar, and ate some pineapple. I am also taking a probiotic which is supposed to help with the healthy bacteria and fighting off bad bacteria which might be causing the odor. Today the odor has diminished greatly. I will do another soak tonight and continue that for a couple weeks and see what happens.

I’ve dealt with this same thing for years and it got worse after I had a kid. Bad smell, wet panties all the time… having to wear a panty liner all day long (which just worsens it,.) It’s embarrassing. I’m married and my husband doesn’t care and pretends he doesn’t even notice, so I don’t have to worry about that. I just worry that people I get close to while I’m working can smell it. I’m paranoid about it.

I’m trying the probiotics and will do the yogurt thing tomorrow… will try the bath with apple cider vinegar, too. And I know I don’t drink enough water. I’m a busy person and I’ve put my own health on the back burner. Time to start drinking more water and eating more fruits, too!

Just a thought….could the use of heavily scented laundry soaps and fabric softeners be part of this problem? Wearing underwear all day long (and maybe pyjamas all night long) could be marinating the genitals in a soap residue. It might help to start using unscented laundry products for anything touching sensitive skin.

White vinegar does work actually better than the apple cider vinegar. I drink 2 table spoons of it in water 2 times a day and I wash area with it daily. I use dove soap on the rest of my body. No smells at all even after sweating. My confidence is finally back. Been suffering for a year now and no prescribed creams or gels work. Good luck to you all.

Oh wow! Thanks a lot ladies… I tried the garlic last night. Crushed two cloves of garlic, added warm water, a bit of lemon juice and olive oil to it. Drank. And then I put a piece of garlic down there for a few minutes cause I was scared it might go all the way in and be hard to retrieve…haha! Worked wonders! Woke up smelling fresh today…all day long!

Tonight I’ve soaked in white vinegar+salt+water and inserted a tampon soaked with yogurt. I hope I never have any vaginal odor problems again…

Wow!! I think i’ll try one of these methods, because i’ve been to gyne severel times with the same issue prescribed antibiotics and antifungal creams even done pap smear test. But the itching keeps on coming back after few months though my discharge is normal.

Hello ladies…I’m at the first trimester of pregnancy and since the pregnancy I’ve had this awful discharge down there. I was wondering if I could use the tempon dipped in garlic and put it there since I’m pregnant…Thanx

I soaked my lower body with bicarbonate of Soda for 20 mins and clean my vagina with a clean towel then I dampen a clean panty liner with white vinegar and wire it for few mins. And drank two spoons of Apple cider with water and went to bed. It’s now the next day I can confidently say no smell no smell. Thank u all for this
